Shooting a Short/thesis film with Red

[Naveen Varadarajan]

I am shooting a short film for my thesis on Red One.

 

I have equal number of shots indoors and outdoors. Its a documentary subject shot cinematically. I am looking at a very cinematic feel in terms of color and shots. I want to have a serious tone + cool look.

 

I would like to know some unique techniques that I could try out with the Red. I have the prime lenses with me and also the zoom.

In the end it never depends on the camera system you work with, it only depends on your personal skills. The RED, like all other videocameras, has it`s own limitations which you should test before shooting. Be aware of its limitations and then work the way you`re used to.

 

Good luck.
